High Frequency Alarm

[richarfg]

I have a 2001 Newmar Mountainaire with a Freightliner Chassis and a Caterpillar. I have retracted the slides and the levellers completely, and I still have that high-frequency alarm. Does anything else cause the alarm? I have checked to make sure everything retracted completely. Any information would be helpful in troubleshooting this issue. Thanks in advance.

Had the same alarm. When checking the fluid level, it looked fine to me. I put a little bit of fluid in anyway and haven't had the alarm since. And when I say "a little" it only took a 1/4" of additional fluid and I've never had any leaks in the system.

Nice to know this. We were at a CG and approached by an elderly fellow and he didn't know what was causing the alarm. I looked and looked, and didn't want to do surgery on his coach. He ended up having to bring it to a shop. 😞

2001 Newmar will have HWH jacks
1. HWH jacks do NOT have a fluid level sensor or alarm. EACH jack has a down sensor and IF any of the 4 sensors is not closed, then the HWH touch pad will indicate in red which jack does not show up(retracted)
2. There is NO alarm on Newmar slides if retracted or extended.
3. Are you positive that alarm is NOT your Air bag low air sensor? Are your Air tanks over 80 PSI? If not, then you will get an audible alarm. Doug

Hadn't even thought about that...thanks!
